SECTION 4.03 STYLE OF ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS.

   Each ordinance shall contain an enacting clause as follows: "Be it ordained by the Council of the Village (City) of Sebring, Mahoning County, Ohio"; and each resolution shall contain an enacting clause as follows: "Be it resolved by the Council of the Village (City) of Sebring, Mahoning County, Ohio".

SECTION 4.04 SUBJECT OF ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS.

   Each ordinance or resolution shall contain only one subject, which subject shall be clearly expressed in its title; provided, however, that appropriation ordinances may contain the various subjects, accounts, and amounts for which monies are to be appropriated; and that ordinances and resolutions which are codified or recodified shall not be subject to the limitation of one subject.

SECTION 4.05 READING OF NON-EMERGENCY ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS.

   Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.07 hereof, each ordinance shall be read at three (3) meetings of the Council, whether regular or special, providing that the meetings be held on three (3) different days; and each resolution shall be read at one (1) meeting of the Council. Each resolution shall be read in its entirety; but each ordinance shall be read in its entirety at its first reading only; and the subsequent readings shall be by title only; provided, however, that the Council may require any reading to be in full by a majority vote of all its members. The Council may dispense with the requirement that a resolution be read in its entirety or that an ordinance be read in its entirety at its first reading and permit such reading to be by title only upon the majority vote of all its members present at the meeting.

(Amended 11-8-94.)

SECTION 4.06 VOTE REQUIRED FOR PASSAGE OF ORDINANCES, RESOLUTIONS, AND MOTIONS.

   The vote on the question of passage of each ordinance, resolution, or motion shall be taken by yeas and nays and entered upon the journal. Each ordinance, resolution, or motion shall be passed by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of all of the members of the Council, unless a greater number of affirmative votes is required by other provisions of this Charter or by the Constitution and general laws of the State of Ohio.

SECTION 4.07 EMERGENCY ORDINANCES OR RESOLUTIONS; PROCEDURES.

   An emergency ordinance or resolution shall contain the determination that such ordinance or resolution is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety, or welfare; and the reasons for such necessity shall be clearly set forth in one section thereof. The Council may dispense with the requirement that an emergency ordinance or resolution be read in its entirety and permit such reading to be by title only upon the majority vote of all its members present at the meeting. The passage on an emergency ordinance or resolution shall require the affirmative vote of at least three-fourths (3/4) of all the members of the Council. In the event that a proposed emergency ordinance or resolution shall fail to receive the affirmative vote of at least three-fourths (3/4) of all the members of the Council required for its passage as an emergency measure; then, in that event, the emergency clause shall be deleted from said legislation, and such legislation shall be deemed to have received its first reading; and its passage shall be controlled by Section 4.05 hereof. Nothing contained in this Section or Section 4.05 shall preclude the amendment of any ordinance or resolution at any time so as to become an emergency measure hereunder. (Amended 11-8-94.)
